The world's gone mad, 
And I have lost touch. 
I shouldn't admit it, 
But I have. 
It slipped away while I was distracted, 
I haven't changed... 
I swear I haven't changed.. 
How did this happen? 
I didn't feel myself... 
Evaporating... 

My body has gone, 
But my eyes remain. 
Hovering. Witnessing. 
Cold as a ghost... watching the streets... 
Sheltering in doorways of 
Venice, Vienna, 
Budapest, Krakow, and Amsterdam. 

I have [bad word] the invisible man. 
I have [bad word] the invisible man. 

The invisible heart beating against you. 
The invisible pulse silently thumping. 

I shout my name in the public places... 
No one seems to notice. 
No one understands. 
I stand perfectly still 
In the middle of the road. 
I hold my nerves, 
I hold my nerves, 
Hold my nerves, 
But the cars don't swerve... 

I will hear your prayers 
As you whisper alone. 
I am the one you felt was close 
Close behind you in St. Stephen. 
You lit a candle 
Blessings in the cold night air. 

I'll feel your breath 
As you turn to go. 
I'll watch you leave. 
From somewhere up high 
As you cross the park 
In the Autumn light, 
In the Autumn light, 
In the Autumn light... 

If I close my eyes, 
I can see where you live. 
Climb the winding stairs, 
Up to your apartment. 
The scent of you preparing 
His evening meal. 
I must watch in dread, 
When he's [bad word] to you. 
In horrified silence 
As you make love 
I cannot lift a hand, 
I cannot lift a hand to stop him, 
Lift a hand to stop him, 
I don't exist. 
What can I do? 
What can I do? 

I will scream in your ear 
As you're passing by. 
I will wrap my arms around you 
You won't hear, you won't feel me. 
I will walk stride for stride with you. 
I will try to help 
When you stumble 
You will stumble through me. 

I have [bad word] the invisible man. 
I have [bad word] the invisible man. 
It's all I am... 
Invisible. 

I have read all your letters. 
I know what you contain. 
I have dreamt your dreams. 
My head is haunted... 
My head is haunted. 
I will scream again 
"I am perfectly sane", 
"I am perfectly sane"... 
But I am... 
The invisible man. 
I am... 
The invisible man. 

Talk to me. 
Acknowledge me. 
Confide in me. 
Confess to me... or 
Leave me be 
Leave me be.
